Sale near Manchester link betwen Chester Ave and Riley Close. Over restricted with complex barriers. Remove horizontal bars.
Two sets of barriers make this useful route a difficult proposition. A better solution might be found here.
Potential route through here, needs obstructions removing and surface treating. Potential for slight widening by taking some of the allotment land.
A useful link south currently made illegal by the signage. Potential for slight widening by removing a metre of the allotment land, although there's enough room anyway.
Ridiculous obstructions that should be removed. The bollards should be replaced with something spaced further apart, so larger bicycles and tricycles can pass.

Sale Trafford route along Sinderland brook. The A frame is too narrow. After much argument the gate on the left is now left open giving access to the park - no noticeable increase in motorbike nuisamce
Sale Trafford route across Sinderland brook . The A frame has been widened unofficially which make it slightly better but still an issue especially the poor surface at the site of the access.

Forest of bollards. Good luck trying to get your bike through here on this 'national cycle route', much less a tricycle or adapted cycle of any sort. Typical masochistic 'infrastructure' brought to you by Sustrans.
Opened section of Ridgeway with weirdly shaped bollards, misplaced lamp-posts, and loose gravel on the cycleway. Naturally nobody wants to cycle on loose gravel so everyone cycles on the tiled side that was supposed to be the footway. … [more]
More 'wacky' gates on the Ridgeway. Because the university believes deeply that they cannot do anything nice without also doing something horrible. The reasoning seems to be that 'cyclists' need to be 'punished'! For their own good! So … [more]

The dangerous chicane at the corner of Adams Road, Wilberforce Road and the Coton path. It's obvious that people are colliding with the stonework here because it is always getting knocked out of place.

The other end of the path from Froment Way to Butt Lane. There is no dropped kerb onto Butt Lane, encouraging those who are agile enough to get their bike through this mounted (does not include me - I'd fall off) to cycle on the pavement. … [more]
Why is half this path blocked off? To prevent vehicles using this, a simple centrally placed bollard would work. You often have to wait for other people here and the visibility is terrible. This path links Butt Lane and Froment Way which … [more]
A view of the school-route obstruction showing trying to get a (normal-sized) bicycle through it. If mounted you have to put your feet down as the angles are too tight not to fall off.
This is a route to a primary school used by mums with pushchairs and cargo bikes and lots of little kids tagging along on bikes behind mums on bikes. Note the householder has now put a fence alongside the obstruction as most mums were … [more]
An ancient, tight and decrepit set of bollards on the path by 35 Gough Way through to Barton Road. It is just possible, though nerve-wracking, to cycle through the adjacent gap without stopping.
Another blatant attempt to stop cycling, even though it's on the Bar Hill Cycleway. These barriers are dangerous and need to be removed.
This obstruction needs to be removed. The metal loops are clearly intended to impede cyclists - dangerous and unnecessary. As the track turns sharply just after the obstruction, long bikes would find it very hard to remain on the track.
It's just possible to cycle through this one, if you're careful, but the metal loops (hard to see the left one, because of the vegetation) don't need to be there and should be removed.
Route between Ponsonby Rd and Belford Rd could be made legal for cycles and access improved, currently quite tight getting through #AbsoluteBollards
Old Trafford at Hullard Park entrance there are dropped kerbs here but are obstructed. a gap in the railing would help on these quiet roads and encourage permeability for cyclists.
Stealth bollard at the end of Cheney Way. With #bonuscat. #absolutebollards @camcycle https://t.co/RtGFkQzTCH
That's a primary school in the background, but local kids still need to go round the front of the school onto the much busier Arbury Rd, and if they do cycle this way they are faced with pointless chicanes. Also a problem for people in … [more]
Not really dangerous just useless. Outside St. Andrew's @camcycle #absolutebollards https://t.co/U5D4OynHUX
@camcycle Similar ones on Fen road. The one on the left is particularly pointless. #absolutebollards https://t.co/uQQGtVebJL
Only one bollard is necessary to prevent vehicle access here. This would create less conflict, as cycles and wheelchairs etc could pass simultaneously each side of the bollard.
Same design of bollard as https://www.cyclestreets.net/location/86397/ with a sharp flat top which can catch on flesh or bags and clothing, and short so not very visible. This is placed to create maximum conflict at the busstop, when users … [more]
At the end of the Melville Road is a kerb to make it a cul de sac this idea at Hove would be great here twitpic.com/akw3n7
Bollard placement obstructs pavement and cycles. While width between them is okay (but could be better), the fact that the bollards are in the middle of the cut-through, rather than either side, obstructs cycling. This is particularly the … [more]
Multiple obstacles on NCN60 in Gorton, Manchester. Various ways through, each with a different level of risk.
Gratuitous pinch stile obstructing the path. Action - make the cattle grid full width with a bypass gate for dog walkers etc and remove the pram arms.
The chicanes on Legate Walk as it passes into the open area before the underpass beneath Northfield Avenue pose a substantial obstruction. Navigating them on a bike with panniers is difficult and I have twice fallen off attempting this. It … [more]
The large chicanes that obstruct the cycle path that crosses from Walker Court across Nicholson Way onto the green space around Arbury Community Centre obstruct the cycle path. It is difficult to navigate around them without falling off on … [more]
Hard to see the point of this configuration. It's not a barrier to cycles (it shouldn't be, as there is cycle parking this side of the bollards). It does create conflict by restricting the routes people can take, both on foot and on bike. … [more]
See clip at http://youtu.be/VkVyN0tpZXc An update from http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=89AFT7Fki9Q It looks like someone has successfully pointed out that the barriers are too close together. Although I'd still suggest there's a better way … [more]
Useful link between The Orchards and Gladstone Way - but spoilt by a silly chicane made out of two rounded-A cycle parking stands. There's no dropped kerb in the obvious place, because that would take away a motor vehicle storage space?
Stretford near Victoria Park and St Anns primary schools - Crazy cycle lane with legal car parking on approach
The barrier chicanes at Orchard Estate, looking towards town. A proposal at June 2013 is to install a new cycleway to the left of and parallel to the path opposite this photo. The first 10 metres alongside the brown fence is limited by the … [more]
Annoying obstruction on the access to this cycle path. Compare with the same scene 10 years ago: #7913. The street light has moved to the middle - which could facilitate removal of the concrete bollard with the pram arms. The houses have … [more]
